Group | Mean | SD | P |
---|---|---|---|
2% CHX | 77.06 | 2.12 | <0.001* |
A. indica | 77.58 | 1.45 | |
Triphala | 79.80 | 1.81 | |
Calcium hydroxide | 53.70 | 1.70 |
*A significant difference at P<0.05. Percentage reduction in CFU count was highest in the triphala group followed by A. indica and 2% CHX group. Percentage reduction in CFU count was least in the calcium hydroxide group. One-way ANOVA test. SD: Standard deviation, CFU: Colony forming unit, A. indica: Azadirachta indica, CHX: Chlorhexidine
